IPC: H01J37/26
Filed: 2005-11-04
Abstract: A method of operating a high-pressure chamber in a vacuum or low-pressure environment and observing the operation, and a device for the operation and the observation respectively, employs a housing, which includes a chamber, a vapor room, at least one buffer room, at least one spacer, and all of vapor, inner, and outer apertures formed on the spacer and coaxially aligned with one another. Infusing a fluid of higher pressure into the chamber with a pressurizer and applying multilayered depressurization to the outside of the chamber and controlling the pressure difference between the chamber and the vapor room to prevent the fluid from exhausting like liquid through the vapor aperture and instead ensure the fluid to be held inside the chamber. The coaxial relationship of the vapor, inner, and outer apertures enables a probing source to penetrate through the fluid for observation and analysis.
